Alyn,

Thanks for the reminder about the RealTracks. I plead guilty to not being among the majority that meticulously lists all the details about their BIAB assistance. With the exception of a rare RT solo that I slice-and-dice into the shape that I like, I use only RealDrums and list myself as "other instruments."

But your point is well taken and, in future, I'll include specific citations by number and RT artist. I should add that the RealDrums could be the greatest percussion event since possibly the Big Bang. You can edit these too and extract all sorts of fills, hits, etc. that would take forever using, say, EZ Drummer, which is undeniably a great program - but not cheap when you include the separate "jazz package."

Still, you can't beat PG's real drummers, especially (in jazz) the Canadian drummers Terry Clarke and Craig Scott. Terry is unsurpassed by any drummer I've ever heard. And he doesn't hold back like some other RT artists who are more concerned with keeping their best licks a secret. I won't name names.

Neil Swainson, the Canadian bassist, and pianist Mile Black, like Terry, are absolutely world class and give everything they've got. I never liked the idea of citing these tremendous musicians as mere numbers. Now I'll include both name and number.
